    Does this moron not realize there's plenty of leftist folk singers out there and also that youtube is heavily astroturfed by the right who game the system?

      If I read correctly, she does, she's just saying "fuck, we need a 2023 viral lefty song"

          I feel like we need to make an effort to understand what people are trying to say and not shame them for communicating their ideas in a way that we don't understand. To do the latter can be unintentionally ableist.

          I think that's the curse of substack subsistence writer. Every online thing happening (in their sphere) must have a take for it and every take just be long winded and try to cram in a unique perspective as an advert for what you get if you subscribe, regardless of whether those things are warranted.

        A bit of this, and I think she's asking the question: why does the left not have viral songs that capture the imagination of the working class, too? I think she's saying that astroturfing or not, the song has taken a hold in popular culture and that the left needs to get a move on rather than just point at past successes.
